According to distributors COMAG: Launched in 1977, White Dwarf is the official magazine of Games Workshop, the company that designs, manufactures and markets the massively popular hobby of collecting, modelling, painting and tabletop gaming with armies of model soldiers to fans all around the world.
Catering to many popular fantasy and science fiction role-playing games, in recent years White Dwarf has concentrated largely on the Warhammer fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 games. To this end, White Dwarf is being renamed Warhammer Visions from the February issue.
As well as the name change, Warhammer Visions will get a new A5 size, a pagination increase to more than 230 pages and a price increase from £5.50 to £7.50.
Described by the publisher as a visual feast of Warhammer, every issue of Warhammer Visions will have more high quality photos of beautifully painted miniatures, tabletop layouts and step-by-step pictorial re-enactments of battles, to delight and inspire all fans of the popular hobby.
With more of a focus on the Warhammer fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 science fiction games than White Dwarf has, Warhammer Visions will remain the only title on the newsstand covering the ever-popular hobby and the number one magazine in the Games sub-sector.
